Full Moon in Capricorn July 21, 2024: Karmic Closure

There is a Full Moon on July 21st, 2024, occurring in the 29th degree of Capricorn. This is a continuation of the story that started with the last Full Moon on June 21st that occurred in the first degree of Capricorn. The occurrence of two consecutive Full Moons in the same sign is rare and gives us an interesting energy to work with. This is a period of major karmic endings and new beginnings as…

people who work 8 to 5 how in the world do you have the energy to get anything done after that

You remember when dick was in space (for the first time with the new teen titans) because komand’r took Kory back and they needed to save her? And you remember how he understood it was a war they were fighting and that they needed to do what they had to in order to survive it? And how when Gar told him he needed to control Kory, dick wondered if he even should try to stop her from killing her sister? And how he literally killed to save her (there’s some deniability but he’s literally hitting them with lasers described as deadly right in the head)? I do.

Christian culture has too often offered women a push toward contentment that can numb us to our own desires, without offering the tools to discern whether those desires could be good or Holy-Spirit-inspired.

I know everyone talks about it, but I've still been really, really alarmed by how fast time moves these days. I'd like to do some serious, intentional thinking about what steps I could reasonably take to "slow down" my life and to give more meaning to my days. the churn of the work week has such a chokehold on the imagination.

me: okay so ik i decided to fly out to see some hypmic seiyuu in part bc i wanted a break from working consecutive 50 hr weeks but i kiiiinda blew out my wallet with the trip so maybe i wouldn’t mind a little bit of overtime—

the job: you’re in luck!!!!! you’re required to work 70hr workweeks for the foreseeable future :)

Good morning <3 (night for you probably)

How are ya? I hope you have a very nice day <33

What's your favourite marine animal fact?

P.S. look at this picture of one of my cats <33 why is he so cutee 😭😭😭

aaaaaa what a cutie!!! i love seeing photos of other people's cats :)

and good morning to you too! i hope you're day was good or that you have a good one if your day is just starting!

idk if it counts as a fact per se, but something that i love to tell the kids at the touch pools at the aquarium is that if you carefully place your finger between the spines of a sea urchin it will gently squeeze your finger! like it's giving you a little hug! it always gets the kids (and adults and teens too!) that are scared to touch the little guys to be a little brave and the range of reactions we get from them are SO fun and pure and genuine.

i see you like insects! what's your favorite fact about your favorite bug?

also i'll trade your cat photo for a puppy photo!

this might be a weird and honestly personal question, but how do you sustain yourself n all that? youre honestly a big inspo for me, and im wondering how youre able to make money doing the things u like? do u live in ur own house n all that?

oh!! not a weird question!!!! the real answer is that i dont!! I do not make money doing the things i love like art!! im actually not a full time artist and dont even work in the creative field!!

IRL im currently a phd student studying biostatistics!!!! in my graduate program they cover our tuition and give us a part-time research assistantship, so i take care of myself via what i get paid from that and do art on the side just as a hobby!! luckily its enough to live off of....im not exactly thriving but i can pay rent for a small apartment and buy food and occasionally treat myself so i consider the place im at in life now a good place!!!

i actually do enjoy where i work and what i do and think its really cool.,...from what i hear the biostats field is a really good field to work in and has good job opportunities, and it doesn't stress me out a lot so i like it!!!!

honestly growing up, i always used to see on twitter and tumblr a lot of professional full-time artists struggling or talking about how artists/animators are treated like garbage and underpaid and tbh i didnt want the thing i love (art) to become something i hate, so i ended up finding a different career path that would allow me to be creative on the side without having to worry about it paying my bills!!

(also if anyone seeing this is very math/coding savvy, i recommend looking into biostats as a career. its fun and the job market is pretty good for us from what i hear from professors and friends who have graduated)

Hello! I was wondering if you could offer some Hearth Witchery-related advice—I work from home and my work space is in my bedroom. Naturally I think of my bedroom as my personal sanctuary but the stressful energy from my workspace tends to bleed over into the rest of the room. Is there some kind of spell or ritual I can perform in order to isolate the energy of my work space from the rest of my bedroom? (Designating another part of my home as an office space is not an option for me, unfortunately.) T.I.A.!

Ooo. That's a really good question 💚 physical separation is gonna be my recommendation, but moreso by using a curtain or tapestry to keep the energy in your workspace, and segment it off from your sleep space. If your workspace is in a corner, put a curtain on the open side. And hang a protective boundary charm behind you. Or vice versa, boundary charm to your side & tapestry behind you.

I'll suggest a rug, too, to make the floor different from the rest of the room so it feels more like a different space.

As for a boundary charm, if you don't have one on hand - watch out on my blog & my Wordpress because I'm gonna come up with a few for this exact reason. At the moment, I don't have any either. But I think this is a really good way to use magick in a practical manner for daily needs.

work has been so busy and stressful i haven't really had time to write or be on here much at all. i used to write bits and pieces between meetings and appointments but we're absolutely slammed and i don't know if or when it'll ever let up. i have about 1/3 of the next part of the radi/ost/atic fic but i'm so drained after work every day i don't have the energy or motivation to do much of anything once i'm off. i hope i'll be able to get it either finished this weekend or at least most of it

[its-all-papaya]

my toxic trait is that i believe that if i could have one (1) day completely off work to do life-maintenance tasks and write before 7pm, i could finish dad lando in like a week or two.

unfortunately we will never find out bc my last day off was september 22 and i think my next one off is american thanksgiving (november 28)
